ecently, I was involved in a Wonderful Festival Event which initially was my conceptual idea. Due largely to the determination of my partner Louise O'Brien Lee-Price and Amethyst Treleven (leader of the Oak and Mistletoe Coven) with support from Kym and Mike Kuijpers, Alan and Caroline Peek, Andrew and Margaret, Chris and Frank (of Seventh Ray), Lord Djor, Sherona Kerr and several other friends, especially Dave Smith And Cerri Lee, the Event would NEVER have happened.

Actually, dear readers, I had found myself burnt out and ill with depression. Stress had over-whelmed me and anxiety had zapped my creative enthusiaism. I was a spent force.

The Event happened and was a minor success. Not a huge success as I would of like but as I had said in the past: "From a small seed or acorn a mighty Elm or Oak will grow ..." and as it will be with the Event which was titled "The Druids Dreaming 2009" and will henceforth be called The She-Oak Earth Music Festival.

Magic can Happen. Magic Does Happen. Music is Magic and Magic is Music. Music can bring about Change and Change can be Good.

Hence the reason for this Open Letter.

Everything Evolves.

"Everything living; everything in nature; everything in the physical world is cyclical and involves a never-ending coming and going, expansion and contraction.
Everything is in a constant state of evolution. Everything is in transition. The rising and setting of the Sun; the waning and waxing of the moon. The seconds; the minutes; the hours; the days; the weeks; the months and years continue to come and go. Organic life is born, lives, grows old and dies and new birth begins the cycle anew.

A perpetual, never-ceasing motion."

Everything Evolves.

If it didn't, there would be no growth and no advances. We would stagnate.

As such, it is my decision and intention to change focus with "The Cosmic Cauldron Newsletter". There are a multitude of Alternate Spiritual and Pagan ezines, forums, groups and web sites online. Many more informative than my humble publication and many which contain misinformation. As I have stated many times I am NOT Pagan. I am a Theosophist and embrace all spiritual beliefs.

Music has existed ever since primitive man utilised instruments to communicate with the Otherworlds. In song ancient and modern cultures praise their dieties and sing to their Gods and Goddesses.

It is my intent to branch out with my Online publication and concentrate more on the Spiritual & Cultural Diversity in Music, Arts and Performance. In short, the Magic of the Shaman.

Music is the Magical inspiration which unlocks the spiritual essence within.

The NEW Look Cosmic Cauldron will be launched on New Years Day 2010. Inspired by my NEW friend Dave the Bard it will embrace the Bardic verse, the ideology of the perfoming arts, will act as a portal to a Network of Global Radio and Television sites which focuses on EARTH MUSIC and the sacred music of our Ancestors.

Until then, Have a Blessed Mid Summer, Yule, Christmas and Seasonal Sabbat. Be Well, Be Blessed and May YOUR Gods and Goddesses Watch over YOU and Yours Always.
